There's a fishy tale to unravel...

Once upon a sea shanty, Captain Rusty Riddleboots and his gang The Shifty Shrimps roamed the smuggling haven of Folkestone. Masters of dodging revenue officers and cracking fishy puns, their escapades were as legendary as the contraband they stashed. Their antics included skate-ing past patrols, mullet-ing over cunning plans, and slipping away faster than slippery eels.

But when the Crown's men finally cornered them (plaice-ing barrels of bootleg booze where everyone could see wasn't their best idea!), Rusty devised one last grand scheme. He hid his lucky charm, the Golden Kipper of Fortune, on a secret island somewhere in the English Channel, leaving a series of clues so twisted they'd make a herring do a double-take.

Rumour has it, Rusty's ghost still haunts the harbour, chuckling whenever treasure seekers take the bait or start flounder-ing. Are you skilled enough to crack these riddles and have a whale of a time reeling in the fabled fishy prize?
